Working for the Night

Laughing through the empty nights,

Working harder just to forget

Lost in the routine, chasing fleeting dreams,

Pour another round of regret

Clock ticking slow, sweat on my brow,

Same old grind, no end in sight

Sip the pain, drown the rain,

Tonight I’ll forget my plight

Fighting the pretty fumes, trying to stay sane

Living for the buzz, to numb the pain

Working just so I can get drunk,

Fade away where I belong

In another bottle's sink, I sink,

Can’t escape where I’m from

Broken dreams in a bottle, chase the hollow,

Money’s gone, but I still hold on

Half-lit nights, tangled fights,

Till the dawn’s early yawn

Fighting the pretty fumes, trying to stay sane

Living for the buzz, to numb the pain

Working just so I can get drunk,

Fade away where I belong

In another bottle's sink, I sink,

Can’t escape where I’m from

Is there a break? Can I escape?

Or just drown in the need

Living on the edge of another drink,

Planting my broken seed

So I work, so I drink,

Trying to forget what I think

Lost in the haze, counting the days,

Just working so I can get drunk
